Manafort made his own mess. I wish him nothing but the best of luck and the best outcome, but he was clearly caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Contrast to Podesta and a myriad others who did the same thing and are going scott free. There's no justice if only Manafort gets thrown in jail, but his jail time is quite proper result for the tax fraud that he was convicted of.

I might have heard this wrong, but CBS (on local news) was saying Manafort would likely go to prison for the rest of his life. Ok, he's 69, so we are probably not talking 30 years, but the emphasis sure seemed to be on the severity of the punishment, now.
